I completed taking out the interior this morning. I am now taping everything off so I can apply a coating of lizard skin for my heat barrier. I was really impressed with the results on my 74 when I did the floor boards. I removed the drivers dash and now i have to make a decision on the chrome rings that go around speedometer and the tach. They have slight pitting and the plating is terrible. Guess I have to buy 2 new ones. I got the vent door on the passenger side freed up as it was tight and the cable wouldnt open it. I found a relay that was under the console but im not sure what it is. It has a 3 wire connector and a 2 wire connector on it. I havent had a chance to look it up yet.
I think the interior is going to be a challenge because there are so many tiny details that will take patience and time. I have time but I have no patience at all anymore! I am going to repaint the shifter console, heater selector assembly and the center gauge unit, wiper switch plate, door handles and I am sure some other parts as well. Is this black to be used the satin black? Should I purchase it from a corvette vender, eastwood or will a local can of ace hardware be a match?
When putting this back together does anyone have a step by step procedure that should be followed? I dont want to have to take things apart because it should have been done before other things. I guess I will start with the driver and passenger dash, then go to the dash pad? once they are in then I guess its the carpet followed by the console and the brake assembly then finish with the seats then door panels. Sounds so easy!
Well thats it for now, I wasted yesterday watching football so I didnt get everything done this weekend that I wanted to. I plan on going back out tonight to spray the lizard skin then let it dry this week.
